Report Claims FG Reached Secret Ceasefire With Boko Haram Faction in Borno
The Federal Government reportedly reached a secret ceasefire with a Boko Haram faction led by Ibrahim Bakura Doro, according to a humanitarian news outlet. The government has not publicly confirmed the claim. The reported truce allegedly began in June 2026 during efforts to secure the release of more than 300 civilians abducted from Ngoshe in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State. Sources cited in the report said the agreement may be extended. The development has renewed debate over negotiating with insurgents. While a pause in attacks could bring relief to affected communities and help free abductees, security concerns remain that fighters could use the period to regroup. It is also unclear whether Bakura Doro has sufficient control over other Boko Haram factions to ensure they comply with any agreement.
